"The Last Expedition", Eliza Kubarska, Poland, 80'


The story of the best female mountaineer in the world, an icon of an independent, strong-willed woman, ruthlessly pursuing her goal, who changed the male-centred order of the climbing world, her rise and fall, and how she opened the way to the Himalayas for the next generation of female climbers. Filmmaker and mountaineer Eliza Kubarska goes in search of Wanda Rutkiewicz, who disappeared in the Himalayas 30 years ago. She looks for evidence that Wanda has planned her disappearance and is hiding in a Tibetan monastery. Eliza follows in the footsteps of Wanda's last expedition from Nepal to Tibet over the highest peaks to Kanchenjunga to find out what really happened.
